Rubio Joins Trump on Campaign Trail Days Before Midterm Elections
Published
Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined President Donald Trump on the campaign trail this week, just days before the United States midterm elections. The appearance shows how much both leaders are focused on helping Republican candidates in races across the country. Midterm elections are held halfway through a president's four-year term, and they decide control of seats in Congress.
The two men campaigned together to support Republican candidates and to encourage voters to turn out on Election Day. Rubio, who serves as both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, is one of the most visible members of the administration. Political analysts say that having a senior official like Rubio speak at events can help draw attention to key races and bring in supporters who might otherwise stay home.
Midterm elections often attract large public interest because they can change which party controls the House of Representatives and the Senate. Voters in many states will choose members of Congress, and some states will also decide governor races and other local offices. Election officials remind voters to check their registration status, find their polling place, and learn the identification rules in their state before they vote.
As Election Day approaches, both parties are expected to hold more rallies and make final appeals to voters. Results will show whether the campaign events had an effect on turnout and whether the balance of power in Washington will change in the next session of Congress.
